Untangling
Some folks spot solutions
Whereas others just see tangles.
Possibilities exist
When viewed from different angles.
It’s a talent, rich and rare,
Which I do not possess;
So when conflicts come to light,
I suffer from the stress.
A friend heard my dilemma
And she came up with a plan.
I’d agonized and drawn a blank;
She took the facts and ran.
The answer she suggested
Was so brilliant and precise
It solved my problem perfectly
And was the best advice.
If you don’t have a mind that can
Untangle every knot,
Make sure you have a friend that does,
Just like the one I’ve got!
